my old pc will be formatted and windows reinstalled onto it so will loose emails and i cannot do that.

i also dont really want too fwd them all to myself that would just be stupid right?

In Outlook express go to Tools >> Options >> Maintenance. CLick on store folder. It brings up a small window with the location of where your emails are stored. Copy that location, and paste it in Start >> Run.
That will bring up a few files, inbox, sent items, etc. Just copy those files and transfer them to your new pc.
Set up the email account on the other PC, and check to see where the emails are stored, and then paste the files from before, into that directory.
